Dr, W, H, Sedge- wick in the evening, But last evening was a fine occasion. Supper was served at 6 o'clock of which hundreds partook. At 8 o'clock Rev. Dr, Dougall, minister of the church called the folk to or. der, There were many old friends present, some from a distance and they had been visiting, recalling the happy past days, relating inci- dents or listening to the orchestra. After the chairman's few re- marks, congratulations, and tele- grams were, read, and the names of the writers of the letters which had been received, Hundreds of letters had been sent by Simcoe St, Church to former members and adherents, And these letters were in response, Only the names of the writers could he given so many were they, The letter from Mrs, S.

Mr. Greatrix wrote that in his former pastorates the largest amount raised for all purposes was $23,618 -- in Osh- awa the total amount reached $41,- 418. In conclusion, I pray that God's richest blessing may rest up- on the pastor and people in gn ever deepening spiritual experience and ever growing vision of the world's need, and ever ready re- sonse to the Master's challenge, that sweeps the entire content eof one's being in a glad sacrificial of- fering to Him whose they are, and whom they serve. - Rev.
